Quote: When a woman pushes you away consistently... the male/female polarity is off....
Big time Corri! One of the main problems I am having with our R is BB's pinkness. I can be/do the male part but BB has so many conditions that she wants met, many times the activity or event ends differently than I had envisioned. You know "nice try but no cigar bud."
Quote: I think you are going to have to read the book a few times to get this...
The first reading has been completed. I have to get used to Deida's "code" or writing style.
Quote: Very, very, very interesting book. One of the best I've ever read
Corri, I think it was you that like: “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz: Be impeccable with your word (speak with integrity; say only what you mean); Don’t take anything personally (nothing others do is because of you); Don’t make assumptions (find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want); Always do your best (and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret).
I didn't read “The Four Agreements” but some of the things sound similar.
I have other comments about Deida's book but better read it again.
Quote: It helps me tremendously as a female in finally putting into words what I've always sought, but have never been able to verbalize.
My thoughts are, the Superior Man book is written for men but in female code in some parts. I can see why some women like/understand the book. At one point, I wondered if he also wrote romance novels that women like.
As I was reading parts of the book, I was asking myself what point is he making with this flowery, over emphasized example. Later I read parts where it is written in male-ease, a simple, "say what you mean" style.
